Hi Bruce, thanks for the comment. I couldn't find any info on a drummer either.Pretty strange.
Always loved this single, still pay it regularly. Any chance of adding us to your blogroll, I've added you. Check us out http://polyvinylcraftsmen.blogspot.com/
No problem, thanks for the comment.
Dunno where bristolboy got his info but the only accurate thing is John D Hastings being the singer the line up was
Lead Vocals/Guitar:- John D Hastings
Lead Guitar:- Tom Atkinson
Bass Guitar:- Alan Massey
Drums:-Cliff Massey
John is from Redcar, Tom is from Middlesborough and Alan and Cliff are cousins from Stockton On Tees
I have known Tom , Alan and Cliff for many years Alan in particular as I was at school with him and started a couple of bands with him.
So they are from the Cleveland area not Kilbride.
A great band saw them live many,many times just a shame they never got the recognition they deserved.
Thank You for the info, and the comment, I'll update the post.
Info came from 2 places
Mario's "45 Revolutions" - I'm sure he's unhappy to find there may be a mistake.
Mod Pop Punk

It Happens, I have a volumes book that I find mistakes in all the time, and that was released in 1980. It's tough to find acurate info on these bands sometimes.
True - & that's why 1st hand comments like BassmanUK's are so usefull to us poor bloggers
